Tareq Council ran an interception 90 yards into the endzone to give the Mariners a 27-7 lead at half-time.

In the second half, it was more of the same for the Mariners. Ford pushed into the endzone on a goal-line rush in the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Josh Moore started things with an 81-yard touchdown run. Later, he ran the ball into the endzone from the two-yard line to seal the Mariners’ 48-14 win and Group 5 South title.
